Very very creepy game to play it isn't scary but it just sends a chill down your spine when you are walking through a ghost town and seeing the reactor for the first time.

8/10

Good game but the interface really needs a major overhaul, I am 8 hours in so far but I like the playstyle alot.

[tris-]

is it an FPs or some kind of fps comboed with another genre?

couldnt work it out really

got the student version. seems to be a lot of performance issues, and my pc doesnt exactly suck ass.

not sure id load it up again :\

graphics wise its bit meh, but fun game to play. if only they coulda got a co-op mode going woulda been fun to complete it playing with a few mates

the aiming is bit iffy inthis tho, i aim in between someones for head buttlet marks sometimes pop up on the wall behind the blokes ears. iim told they made it like this but its pain the arse when ammo is always so low

for me this is class game all in all. im just loving playing it. its like an fps version of privateer

I would like to see a planetside type of mmo!

Wouldnt it be cool to have 3+ clans all fighting over the scraps of metal elft over from years ago!

Thinking about that, man Gorkamorka would make an ace mmorpg! :P

This game cripples my computer. Even on low settings. It's a real shame since my aging pc's coped admirabley with everything thrown at it in recent years but this game that shows some real promise isn't fast enough on my pc for me to play it properly, due to the affore mentioned squiffy aiming.

Can't you just run in DX8 mode ?

It was better than the original AND 40k

Got this and I've tried to give it a go, but couldn't get into it, which is a bit odd. I may give it another go over the weekend.

I fiddled with the settings and switched dynamic lighting to static lighting as Wij suggest. Can run the game on Medium settings now and it plays quite well. FPS hovers around 40 - 50 most of the time.

There's quite a few bugs in the game tho. Mostly relating to the PDA and the map. I find it a shame you can't make your own waypoints/notes on the map.
Sometimes scrolling in zooms in, sometimes it scrolls out. Sometimes selecting "Move to Character" zooms out the whole map. Sometimes it finds me.
Sometimes when I've retrieved a stash it clears from the map. Sometimes it doesn't.
I've found a couple of bugged quests and the waypoints don't always show them selves.

If I want to patch, save games won't be compatible so I'll lose all my progress so far. On top if that the patch notes don't say for sure if the PDA bug is fixed.

Great game but it should have been released like this.

i agree, there are far to many bugs and a real missed opportunity, when you do get a nice clean head shot you know it isn't down to being a good shot but down to the randomness of the accuracy. Not had a chance to have a good session at it yet though, only played for a few hours but got a decent gun, found a grenade launcher and scope for it. just wish the scope and launcher fitted the m16 clone i just found (and i wish i had ammo for it)

never tried removing the scope, and deleted saves after i finished it to patch, but there is a scoped, silenced, M16 if u know where to look for it.

gets very wibbly towards the end with the blow out stuff, and mad weather. Was a bit rough round the edges, but overall is worth a look

a word of warning for people tho - finish stuff before you go into pripyat - once u go in, you get sucked along, and once you go into the reactor area you CANNOT get back out, so finish everything else first
